Must be nice. I was hungover for 2 days once after an 18-hour tailgating session.

Never. If you do it enough you don't get hangovers anymore. 😉

Yeah. Back in college I rarely got hangovers because I drank so much. Now that I only drink 1 or 2 nights a week, the hangovers I get are much worse, and my tolerance is pretty pathetic compared to what it used to be.
 
Never... I've been hungover as fvck but that wasn't really anything another night of getting sh!tfaced couldn't cure.
 
I rarely drink but can get carried away when there's an abundance of red wine: as a result of binging on the crimson vino, I puked in my dad's car (while he was driving me home) around Christmas 2005. Been very careful with drinking moderately ever since.
 
I can't understand how some of you cannot recall what happened. I had my days when I drank heavily and I always remembered what happened. Although my body was fvcked up, my mind was fully aware that I was drunk as $hit and remembered everything.

If I get pretty drunk I remember nothing. My friends tell me what goofy sh!t I did the next day.

Yeah, I've never understood this either. I can remember everything that happened when I drink.

That just means you fortunately have not yet taken in enough alcohol for it to happen. I recommend keeping it that way.
 
I love to drink, but I don't need to drink. I think that clears me from AA 😛.

I have sworn it off a few times, but getting completely blasted wasn't a regular occurrence. Now I can enjoy a few beers a week and be happy. I definitely grew out of it. But even though I say that, I do plan on getting a hefty buzz going tonight 🙂.
 
..As the liver converts acetaldehyde into acetic acid it reaches a saturation point, and some of the acetaldehyde escapes into the bloodstream, inhibiting normal mitochondria function and reaction, causing membrane damage, stimulating the synthesis of collagen to form scar tissue, and causing nasty hangover symptoms such as increased heart rate, headache, and nausea.

The neurons of the brain are the most adversely effected by acetaldehyde poisoning, which impairs brain function by interfering with the activity of neurotransmitters within and between the neurons. Acetaldehyde impairs memory and has been shown to be responsible for the amnesiac effects that may follow alcohol intoxication.

According to the journal Biochemistry, published by the American Chemical Society, in addition to hangovers acetaldehyde has been shown to damage certain genetic building blocks which are ultimately inserted into DNA. DNA is made up of chemicals called nucleotides which, when altered, can cause mutations that lead to cancers of the esophagus, larynx, and liver.

New research suggests that "prolonged alcohol intake beyond the capacity of detoxification of acetaldehyde in the body may increase cancer risk," according to Dr. Shinya Shibutani, a faculty member at the State University of New York at Stony Brook.

Get Laid.

 
Never swore off drinking completely, but the day I realized that the hangovers weren't worth it, I decided I would no longer drink to where I was going to have one.
 
I once woke up in the morning in the dog kennel in my room with my dog laying on my bed looking at me. The worst part is my roommates found me so i still haven't been able to live that one down.

I have a suspicion that they may have put me in there the night before, but i can't really prove it.

LOL
 
Never said it. The one or two times I had a blackout I realized that I needed to watch how much I drink when I do. Then again, I also don't drink that often.
